Re: IA misused to spread NAZI teachings? |
Well, it is one thing to hold authentic sources - but another being a publication platform for contemporary texts whose publication (and presentation) is forbidden by law in their home country (and others, as well). The danger I see is that the IA is just misused to publish and archive such texts without any scientific but only propaganda purposes.

Re: IA misused to spread NAZI teachings? |
Not defending on ideology w/ 40 , 50 million deaths on its hands , and a legacy of fear and hatred that holds to this day , but may I suggest you pull the camera back a bit and see the utter destruction communism and radical violent theocratic theology have . What was one of Uncle Joe's quote ? Ah yes , " One death is a tragedy , a million deaths is just a statistic . " I won't even get into Mao , Pol Pot , Castro or others . And this twisted Wahhabism we battle today is in the same pot of stew . We need to read and hear what the enemies of civilization are saying and writing . Not only as a warning to future generations , but as a reminder to us why we fight and why we are fighting .

Re: IA misused to spread NAZI teachings? |
Dudeman,
I recently read and reviewed an anti-Nazi Communist propaganda pamphlet uploaded by you:
The Sonnenburg Torture CampI can't comment on everything individually you've uploaded, but this rare and interesting piece provided insights and I appreciate your making it available. Anyone reading Nazi propaganda should also be reading Communist propaganda from the same era, hard to understand one without the other. I see myself as an amateur historian and mature enough to handle this material, it's interesting primary source you don't see every day at Borders or the local library.
As for historians needing access, of course. But even in libraries some material is in "special collections" behind the desk on a per-request basis. Internet Archive has no such provision. But all it takes is one high profile case for Congress to enact a bill to change that.

Re: IA misused to spread NAZI teachings? |
Your very welcome Steven.
I remember one time at a High School library I tried to get a volume of Catullus (Roman poet) and they told me I couldn't unless I got a note from Mom. I guess that would be redundant in this day and age.
At the university level, yes, I've had to request things, but usually because the items are particularly rare and valuable. For instance, I had to special request this reprint of old trade union proceedings,
http://www.archive.org/details/ReportOfTheAnnualSessionsOfTheFederationOfOrganizedTradesAndLaborI don't see any reason why an item like THAT would need to be kept out of the hands of youngsters. Having said that, I thing some material could be limited, but only for kids, and then only on extreme occasions. For instance, would you give a copy of the works of the Marquis de Sade to a Middle Schooler?
